Good Afternoon, *SMers & SAPsters!

I wanted to see if I could pick your brains for a second!

What happens if you are performing null block compression before sending the
data over the network to the TSM server (RL_COMPRESSION YES in the SAP R/3
profile) and also using Tape Drive compression (3494 ATL w/ 3590 drives on
Solaris FORMAT=3590C via device=/dev/rmt/#stc)?  Will the data grow due to
being compressed twice or compression on the SAP R/3 side is so simple it
does not affect Tape Drive compression?

Thanks,
